An Essex Wedding - May/June 2020 (Issue 92)

We were both emotional and nervous before the service, but we got more excited and relaxed as the day went on. It meant the world to us that our friends and family travelled from as far as Cyprus, Canada, China and Dubai to be with us, as well as all over the UK. All of our suppliers were brilliant, making the day totally stress-free.

Luckily I did, as I fell in love with the fitted lace sleeves and beautiful illusion back. I teamed it with a cathedral-length veil, which had the same lace from my dress added to the end. We opted for a magic mirror rather than a photo booth. It was a real hit and we used the photos as an alternative guest book. There was also a magician who had the whole room in awe. PAIGE’S TOP TIP: Let go and enjoy it! Remember the day is all about you as a couple – you can’t please everyone. 44
